I’m filmmaker Anthony Noack and I’ve partnered with the Australian Cultural Fund to raise money to finish my short documentary project “The White Ship”‘. HEIA are also proud to support the project.
I really enjoy filming visually exciting scenes where patterns form and colours contrast. These can be in outback Australia on road trips, or in Estonia at Laulupidu where I filmed the thousands of faces singing and moving together and shared the result via HEIA.
My new project features light and glass artist Mery Crystal Ra, who has exhibited her work globally, including the European Parliament main building exhibition in Brussels. I had the opportunity to film her exhibition on the 21st floor of the Tallinn TV Tower. Like my Laulupidu footage, this brought together a visually exciting scene with deep cultural meaning.
In the film the conversation with the artist unfolds into a meditation on home as her “White Ship” metaphor evoked in my mind old photographs of the ship my Grandparents took to Australia almost 80 years ago.
The story became both about the artist and the story of Estonian/Australian migration.
I’ve completed filming and now I’m raising funds to help cover the costs associated with preparing a film to a professional standard for cinema screening. I will be submitting the film to festivals in Australia and overseas.
